Re: protected type interrupts

But since you specified a priority for the PO (and assuming priority_ceiling), you still execute at interrupt priority. Depending on the hardware and how priorities are managed, this may delay or hide actual interrupts.

Right. I said that in another message, IIRC. The message you were replying to was mostly nit picking, correcting the OP's assumption that the entry was being executed BY the interrupt handler.
